The overall impact of World Bank and IMF policies has been very negative for the Pakistan economy and for the people’s economy. It has resulted in price hikes and inequalities. Unemployment is at a historic high.
“DeepSeek’s Geopolitical Impacts”: DeepSeek’s open-source model will empower billions of people worldwide, accelerate global innovation, and challenge the existing technological and economic order. Also: “DeepSeek: How a Small Chinese AI Company is Shaking up US Tech Heavyweights”.
Not only a new administration, but a new ideology has now taken up residence at the White House: neofascism. It resembles in certain ways the classical fascism of Italy and Germany in the 1920s and ’30s, but with historically distinct features specific to the political economy and culture of the United States in the opening decades of the twenty-first century.
“The Profits of Fear”: Trump’s mass deportation plans are a racist racket with deep roots in U.S. history and law. Also: “Donald Trump’s War on Migrants”: If Donald Trump launches a war on terror domestically against migrants, that would be a war on America itself.
“Trump Bends the Arc of History in West Asia”; and: “Russia-Iran Treaty Signifies a ‘Breakthrough’ in Ties”.
When Nicaragua again announced its plan to build the alternative interoceanic canal to that of Panama, Washington, Wall Street and large multinationals launched an unprecedented media and political campaign against the government of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo.
In his condemnation of the U.S. war on the people of Vietnam, Martin Luther King Jr.’s stance was not a pacifist one. King was not necessarily anti-war so much as he was against the U.S. empire and its machinations against the Vietnamese and their generational struggle for self-determination.
To remember Russell is to remember the indispensable role of hope in the face of despair, the necessity of resistance when the specter of fascism is with us once again, and the moral obligation to imagine and fight for a world yet to be born.
A primary responsibility of the government is, of course, to keep us safe. Given that obligation, you might think that the Washington establishment would be hard at work trying to prevent the ultimate catastrophe — a nuclear war. But you would be wrong.
You might think Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. could buy Greenland from Denmark is just bonkers. The idea of buying Greenland is not quite so mad if you know your history.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
